That's good cancel culture.
My issue is with how far cancel culture went. I do disagree with people having their lives ruined because they simply don't agree with something. Have a different or opposing view. Or have a moment of weakness and say one stupid sentence in their life's journey. But once the SJW mob decides your time is up.... you don't have a chance.
I think a good example is Jordan Peterson. Say what you want about the guy, but he's made it clear his issue with C16 never had anything to do with the Trans community, it was with compelled speech component. They didn't exactly 'cancel' him per se, as he has quite the audience and wealth now. But he was driven from his chosen profession as a result of his opinion and holding his ground on an issue.

For someone who hates Cancel Culture so much, you have no clear idea what it is or isn't.
Please define it so we can understand what you actually think it is.
Jordan Peterson's stupid Facebook ads and face still pop up in all social media no matter my consistent reporting of his stupidity.
What, exactly, has been cancelled about him?
